A bit of a stinker for two periods. Jarry looked great. Bad goal challenge and a great 3rd period.
Tough to be critical of a win streak, but they’ve not looked great lately.

Can’t remember the last time goaltending was a strength for us. This has been amazing

Second game in a row our goalies have bailed us out and earned us wins we likely didn't deserve. Team better smarten up on the road trip as the quality of competition ramps up for the next few.
Nice to see Hyman getting up to speed. Hopefully he can stay healthy.
As of this morning we're first overall in the league, though if the Canes beat Seattle tonight they'll overtake us.

Happy to see Jarry doing well the last few games. I like Levi a lot more - probably like him as much as his own mother at this point, but having 2 guys who can not only not throw the game away, but hell steal one on an off night? I don’t remember the last time we had that.
I mentioned it a few days ago - to my eyes, the single biggest improvement this year has been how drastically we’ve cut down odd man rushes against. Someone posted confirmation of that somewhere - apparently last year we were dead last or close to it, giving up the most in the league (usually ending up in our net). And this year - #1! Fewest odd man rushes in the league. I’m guessing there aren’t many stats that could improve our goalies’ numbers as much as that one.
Anyway - lots of rambling to say in cautiously optimistic about our goaltending. Andersen coming later might be another bonus. Let’s have 3 capable starters. We all remember Vegas’ Cup winning brick wall Aidin Hill - he was their #3.
And as has been echoed - seeing McDrai put up video game numbers is fun, but it’s a hell of a drop off after those 2 and Bouchard. We need a more threatening second line. Maybe Hyman-Nuge-Kucherov?
